u/Hydrogenated_Opossum

Hello! I just introduced my three girls to a neutered male who has lived solo until now. Intros went well, and I waited until they were cuddle puddling before moving forward. There hasn’t been any chasing and very minor squabbling, but I’ve been noticing that the little guy has been nesting separately. They are still living with minimal bedding and enrichment. Should I continue to wait for more cohesion before returning the enclosure to normal? He still hangs out with them, and sometimes they will join his nest. Why might this be happening?
